ok, so a 9 million euro boat? holy crap! That boat better have a mall, movie theater, spa, gym, guest housing, galley, nuclear power, solar power, desalination, garden, ...just basically self sufficient all around for that price. That's more than most mansions...

Although not as sleek and modern, how much you think this one cost: [url="http://www.yachtmati.com/petara/"]http://www.yachtmati.com/petara/[/url]

It actually cost $105 million. Starck was originally going to be paid when the yacht was going to cost $155 million, but he was later paid $6 million due to the reduced cost and now he's filing claim for the remaining $3 million. Regarding people accusing Jobs & family of being greedy, you probably don't know anything! He was a very private man and he did give a lot to charity! Probably not the billions as Gates did, but he did setup a foundation and his wife is on the board on multiple charity organizations in california, where they fund many of the charitable programs.

And personally I think charity is a very personal and private matter. It doesn't need to boasted around the world to gain acclaim. Gates is not wrong if he is being acclaimed for giving billions to charity because he also raises awareness to causes that his foundation supports. This was the difference between Gates and Jobs. Both did donate to charities, but only Gates really stood up to raise awareness to the causes/charities that he was supporting.
